The purpose of the plan was to develop a guide to help protect the street infrastructure. The current plan has expired and a new plan is being developed by S.E.H. The City Council has approved crack seal, seal coating and street patching each year to date. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff has identified area’s to be crack sealed/seal coated in 2017. Staff recommends crack sealing streets to prolong the existing pavement until reconstruction. Staff would like to fund up to $10,000.00 per year for crack sealing. The City of St. Joseph has a maintenance contract with the Stearns County. The City is responsible for the crack sealing of the county roads identified within the contract. Staff recommends crack sealing College Ave S with the identified City roads. The road has minimal cracks to seal at this time. CO RD 2: Co Rd 2 North of Co Rd 75 will be seal coated this year by the county. I recommend seal coating curb to curb in the City limits. Where there is no curb I recommend not seal coating or fog sealing the shoulder of the roads. It is Cheaper for the City to include this on the City’s maintenance plan. FOG SEALING: Staff recommends the fog seal for the seal coating. In the past the City has opted not to fog seal due to cost. With fog sealing this will help lock the rock down to the surface eliminating most of the loose rock that occurs after seal coating. This will cut down on the complaints of loose rock. It will also reduce the need to re-sweep the street several times. JADE RD: Jade road has striping that will need to be replaced due to the seal coating. The cost for the striping is $3,016.10 ASTECH has been working with the City on the seal coat/crack fill street maintenance program. With the location of the business and the proper equipment Astech has been the lowest price. Staff recommends continuing with ASTECH for the 2017 street maintenance project. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The Public Works CIP has a budget reserve of $82,642 for the street maintenance program. A budget carry-over is expected to help fund the 2018 street maintenance program. Crack seal and seal coat is not to exceed $57,612.78 including fog seal and striping.
